Okay, so this is *really* stupid. On NTT FLET's, if you don't have a Hikari Denwa contract, you only get a /64 prefix assigned via IPv6 RA. If you do, you get a /56 via DHCPv6-PD. The /56 I just got? It's *the same as my old /64*. They are allocating a /56 for everyone anyway
Yes, ¥500/mo more. At least the VoIP contract will be useful because I get near-zero coverage in half of my apartment...

Well there you go. Can't expect crapitalists not to impose arbitrary restrictions to increase their profits. Totally absurd of course but unless we can convince our politicians to outlaw profiteering for the sake of it then this is the sad world we live in :(

Given that this is Japan and NTT, it's way less likely that this is profit-driven and exceedingly more likely that it's just something completely dumb, like, say, that their VoIP routers can't pass through a /64 cleanly or that they decided to implement this for that service.
